MEMBER FEEDBACK

Good experiencewith Essex Credit

ESSEX CREDIT, Costco's provider of RV and boat
loans, is getting high marks for offering great
rates and excellent customer service. Here’s
what two Costco members had to say:

My experience with Essex was awesome.

I submitted the application and learned that we
qualified the next day. Our sales representative
was awesome. I’ve worked in customer service
for 15 years and I would hire her in a second.
It was very pleasant, easy, professional—a real
no-brainer.

Ricky Phillips
Tacoma, Washington

It was an extremely wonderful experience
—the easiest thing I’ve ever done. I am a very
picky person, so it took me about three days
after I read about Essex in The Connection to
do research, and I found out that everything
was legit. And it’s Costco; it’s got to be a good
situation. They sent me stuff, I signed it and
sent it back. Easy.
